The value of x is 2. Option 3

A linear equation is a mathematical expression that depicts a straight line when graphed. It involves variables raised to the power of 1 (no squared or higher terms)

From the information given, we have that;

x + 4/6x = 1/x

cross multiply the values

x(x + 4) = 6x

expand the bracket;

x² + 4x = 6x

collect the like terms

x² - 2x = 0

make 'x' the subject

x² = 2x

x = 2
